United State Depository For Postal Savings Funds. NEW ROUTE SERVICE BEGINS DECEMBER 1 Will Give Many Farmers a Long Needed Service. On December 1, a new rural route, to be known as Route No. 3, will be started from the Washington Post Office. This departure will supply a long reed id want, and those who are fortunate enough to be situated along this route are to be congratulated. Emanating from the local office, it will give the patrons the delivery of mail from all trains reaohing Washington from the preceding twenty-four hours up to 7 o'clock each morning ; it will also give its patrons, who have their mail collected on this route, an opportunity to have it dispatched on the same day, instead of being delayed at an inland post offioe, -an advantage of at least twenty hours,' time.' Not all enjoying the advantage of rural free delivery appreciate the fact that Uncle Sam practically places a post office on the premises of each farmer once each week day, upon the arrival of the carrier. For with this carrier he may transact money order business, register letters, insure parcel post, deposit postal saving and buy stamps, besides having his mail delivered and collected. The old reliable Star Route between Washington and Union will be discontinued on November 30 and no longer will we see the familiar face of Jos. L. Gregory driving on to Union with his precious burden of U. S.. mail. He will be mi9sed very much because of his long and faithful service as Star Route man. He has become a staple fixture in connection with thin much travelled and famous highway, nni all wi 1 rot uem wel w th ut him. The new Routs No. 3 will absorb the old Star Route and deliver mail to Krakow. Union will be expected to confine itself to the Rock Island II. R. for the delivery and difpatch of mail.
